Keep Up The Awareness!
Awareness is key to defending yourself. There are 4 risks I refer to time and again when speaking about self defense.
1. Awareness
2. Avoidance
3. Recognition
4. Reduction
We need to be Aware so we can Recognize and Avoid risks, therefore Reducing the opportunity to be a victim. Education is 90% of your self defense. And, of all you learn, your most powerful self defense is in your head. Your well prepared brain is your MOST important weapon.

Should you find yourself attacked, stay calm and think as the situation develops. When adrenaline kicks in, everything will seem to happen in slow motion. Since you are calm, and you do not panic, your mind will process thoughts quickly and it will seem like you have all day to decide on your reaction.
Another thing to remember, your skull is incredibly hard. Use it as a weapon against an attackers' face and/or collarbone.
Most "fights" are won before they start, and aggressors will back down if you maintain eye contact and are not intimidated by them. You won't look like a victim or easy target.
You might have only one possibility to defend yourself, do not lose it.
